Sažetak
Neil Gaiman’s short stories “Snow, Glass, Apples” and “The Sleeper and the Spindle” are an example of postmodern retellings of tales of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty by a male author. Utilizing the phallocentric language, Gaiman creates stories which question the postulates of the hypotexts in order to shed light on the patriarchal ideology its implications. Employing the extended theory of the civilising process in fairy tales developed by Jack Zipes, the paper examines Gaiman’s subversive treatment of said processes while simultaneously applying Zipes’ interpretation of fairy tales as memes. Chromatic symbolism in the short stories, a topic closely related to the civilising process, is examined through works of Francisco Vaz da Silva and Jessica Hemming. Lastly, in order to further emphasize the results of such subversive writing on the Secondary Worlds of the stories at hand, theories of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Secondary World and Mikhail Bakhtin’s chronotope are introduced.
